Sixty players saw their NBA dreams come true this past Thursday night at the 2010 NBA draft. Many more were left out in the cold. While some prospects made NBA history—Latavious Williams was the first player in history to be drafted out of the D-League—others have now gone down in NBA infamy. (See: Scottie Reynolds, the first undrafted All-American in NBA history.) Now, for the undrafted players to earn an ...

The 2009-2010 NBA regular season consisted of 30 NBA teams, 16 of which entered the playoffs. You may think that some of my picks are based on other rankings, but I will try to give my honest opinion as best I can. So here we go in order...Begin Slideshow

One player stands out above the rest when you think about the free agents in the NBA this year: his name—LeBron James. One team in the running for his services is the New York Knicks. For the longest time, many considered them the favorite to land the All-Star forward for 2010 and beyond. However, there are a growing number of people who believe that there are other teams with a better shot ...

It seems every media outlet or source out there believes the Chicago Bulls are going to acquire both Lebron James and Chris Bosh, especially with the great trade that they were able to pull off on draft night. Let's discuss some of the reasons why this won't happen. First, the NBA will void any deal if the Bulls and these two players had negotiations before July 1st. This "done deal" ...

With currently $44 million in cap space and potentially more coming, the Miami Heat can sign three maximum-contract free agents. One of those, of course, is Dwayne Wade.  The obvious main target would then be LeBron James.  I think Chris Bosh will go wherever James goes, so I think he will end up in Miami and not Amare Stoudemire. The biggest concern, then, would be getting these three superstars to share the ball. ...

We all know that NBA All-Star Lebron James is the best player to gun for out of the upcoming free agents in 2010. He also (to no surprise) has the most speculation about where he is going to go. I am here just to give you my two-cents on where he will end up starting the 2010-11 season. All of these reasons point to the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have enough cap ...

One of my favorite writers is Michael Wilbon.  So now that I told you that Wilbon is one of my favorite writers you know that I am going to tell you that I disagree with him. Early this free agent season, Wilbon wrote an article in which he suggested that the ghost of Michael Jordan would negatively impact the chances of the Chicago Bulls in acquiring the services of LeBron James. Wilbon ...

When free agency officially begins Thursday, five NBA teams will journey to somewhere in Akron (presumably LeBron’s palatial estate) to make aggressive pitches to the King. Whether or not the rumors being spread by Worldwide Wes are true, Chicago is without doubt one of the most likely destinations for LeBron James. The draft-day trade that sent Kirk Hinrich to the Washington Wizards appears to have increased the Bulls chances of landing LeBron, ...

The most important NBA off-season in history is kicking into gear, and with LeBron mania gaining steam, I'm going to produce an on-going series providing updates on the trade rumors and the speculation surrounding LeBron, D-Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson and other free agents.   LeBron And Bosh "Leaning Heavily Toward The Bulls" The New York Times reported an unidentified NBA executive believes, from discussions with other executives, that LeBron ...
